I'm seeking someone fun, but serious... and responsible. A woman who is around my age... and, a little older is not ruled out. I'm looking for a friendship to start with, and would like it to grow into a serious relationship with the right woman. I prefer a woman who is ambitious and is either continuing her education or has already completed her degree. I would like a clean woman who is fit and healthy but shapely. It's what's inside that I'm most interested in. A "hand-made" or "old-fashioned" type of woman as opposed to "store bought". I enjoy camping, fishing, snowboarding, boating, hiking, and pretty much anything adventurous. I also like gardening, making wine and cooking. I'm Italian, so I have some pretty good family recipes to cook for you. I am independent, yet crave love and the feeling of knowing I have m support from my friends and family. I'm definately a family man. I am divorced and have the two most wonderful sons a father could ask for, they are the little men in my life. I would like to start a family with the right woman and I don't mind if she already has children of her own. I have a degree in Business Administration, as well as several other certifications. I am self-employed and although I appreciate a woman with a job and her own money, it certainly is not a prerequisite. I own a home, automobile and I am an Entrepreneur and own two successful, legal businesses in northern Michigan. I have my own income and I have goals set to grow my businesses to increase my net worth. I enjoy traveling, having nice things and showering those around me with gifts. Since I've been living in Duluth, I've honed my skills in drawing. People send me pics of themselves and I draw them and send them back. Some of my work can be seen on my FaceBook page. I also learned to make beaded jewelry from a native American, which I send home to Michigan to my friends and family on a regular basis. These can be found on one of my family websites. I currently live in Duluth at the Club Fed. I've lived her for 5 years and am going to be getting out soon. I can call and/or email you and I can have visits. I am here for a non-violent, first time offense in a marijuana conspiracy. I didn't posess it and I didn't sell it. I am not a user and don't intend to be one. I will be going home to Michigan to my home and businesses when I leave. It would be nice to bring a friend or the love of my life with me when I go. I'm much more than I can write on this site, and I have nothing to hide, so if you want more information -just ask! I am an honest person. I'll tell you everything "up front". If I haven't covered everything you want to know, just ask. I had a "trusted" family member place this ad for me.
